I have an LED shop light that just died, in less than a year.
Either the driver died or a connection broke. I've seen numerous
"cold solder joint" problems on high bay arrays.



If not a bad solder joint, probably a component other than the LED went
bad. Most likely a capacitor.

I have had several of the screw in bulbs (the 60 watt replacement type)
go bad. Opened one up and put some power on the LEDs and they lit up.
Did not do more testing.

My house is about a year and a half old and the builder put in all LED
bulbs. So far I've had 8 or 9 of them fail. I have one of the failed bulbs
here on my desk. It's an Ecosmart model B7A19A60WU11 9W 800 Lumens 173ma
2700K Made in China.

I get the Feit LED bulbs from Costco. I have dozens installed with no failures
so far.

Thanks, Scott. That's yet another brand I haven't heard of, but new
technology tends to bring new players. I appreciate it.
